POT FOR MUSTARD, JAM, MARMALADE, HONEY, &o.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 25, 1917.

Application filed February 18, 1916. Serial No. 79,165.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, HANS KZiGI, a citizen of the Swiss .Confederation, residing at WVinterthur, Schlosshofstrasse No. 2.6, Switzerland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pots for Mustard, Jam, Marmalade, Honey, &c., of which the following is a specification.

The pots for mustard, jam, marmalade, honey and so on used on the tables of public houses, hotels, etc., have a good many drawbacks the principal of which consists in that they are open and easily accessible to air, dust, impurities, insects, etc., and the contents soon dries, gets an unsightly appearance and becomes unpalatable.

The principalobject of the present invention is to provide a new and improved pot for mustard (especially the so called German mustard) jam, marmalade, honey having an airtight cover which prevents the access of impure and dry air,of dust and of insects to the contents of the pot.

A further object of the invention is to provide a pot for. the said purpose having a cover in which the spoon with which the contents of the pot is to be fetched finds easily place in such a manner that the upper end of the handle of the spoon is always well above the contents of the pot and cannot get covered therewith, even when the pot is filled to the top.

The present invention comprises other features which will appear in the course of the subjoined description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.

In the drawings.

Figure 1 illustrates in an elevational side view one form of the new pot having the outward appearance of a shrapnel shell parts being shown in section.

Fig. 2 shows a second form of the pot having a metallic cover, and a non-metallic base.

Fig. 3 shows two other forms of the device one on each side of the middle line.

Fig. 4 shows a form similar to that shown in Fig. 1 in a side view parts being shown in section.

Fig. 5 is a cross-section of Fig. 1 parts being shown in a top view.

Fig. 6 shows the device shown in Fig. 2 in a cross-section.

Fig. 7 shows the top part of a pot of wood having a container of glass, parts being in section.

Fig. 8 is a cross-section of the pot shown in Fig. 4.

The device shown in Figs. 1 and 5 comprises a casing a and a cover 6. Casing a and cover 6 have the appearance of a shrapnel-shell. Theymay be made of any suitable material for instance metal, glass, porcelain and so on. The casing a is provided with a ring a and the cover 6 with a rim 6 Within the casing a a cup 0 of non metallic material preferably of glass is arranged which is provided with two studs protruding outwardly and arranged on the side wall of the cup directly opposite each other. The casing a is provided with two ribs. Protruding inwardly between the two ribs there are two spaces I and II through which the studs 0 may be introduced by'inserting the cup 0 into the casing a. By turning the cup 0 for about 90 the studs pass .under the ribs and the parts a and c are firmly held together- On the outer side of the casing to I provide in the ribs two grooves 66* running in helicoidal lines and on the cover 6 I provide two studs or projections 72 adapted to engage said grooves a in such a manner that by introducing the said projections 6 into the said groove a? and by turning the parts a and b with reference to each other a shoulder on the cover I) is tightly pressed against the top edge of the casing a whereby an air-tight joint is obtained. The cup 0 is provided with two lugs o by means of which it may be easily attached to and detached from the casing a. In the cup 0 there is a spoon (Z by means of which the contents of the cup may be fetched. The handle of the spoon is made long enough that it may be easily grasped even when resting on the bottom of the cup 0. On the other hand the cover 6 is made high enough that the handle finds place in it even when the cup is filled up to the top and when the spoon rests on the top of the contents.

Fig. 2 shows the preferred form of my invention. The device comprises a cup a of non-metallic material for instance glass or porcelain and a cover 6 of metal. Near the top of the cup 0; there are two grooves of diametrically opposite each other and extending over, about half of the biz-cumf r-- ence. The grooves a run in a he'l-ico-idal -li-ne and end in grooves running in axial direction of the cup a. Thecoven Z2. isprovided,

with a shoulder Z2 and with a rim which is provided with two studs-b adaptedtoenter' the said grooves a in such a manner that by inserting; thestuds 6 into the grooves a?- and by turning the cover 6 for about 90 the shoulder 79 of the cover I) is firmly pressed" on the top edge of the cup 0, which is firmly ground to insure a tight joint. The cover 6.

is made hollow and high enough that the spoon, d finds, place in it even when resting too far into the cup, and the upper end of the handle of the spoon cannot get covered by thecontents of the pot;

In the construction shown in Fig. 3 the cup awhich may be madeof glass. or porcelain is provided at its bottom with a. centrally arranged rest a for the spoon cl; The cover may be made either as shown to the left or to the right hand side of, the middle line. The cover 6 shown to theleft is made of metal and. is provided with it rim 6' which fits tightly on a metal ring 0 fixed to the cup a. The cover I) on the right hand" side of the middle line is made of glass or porcelain and it is provided with a metal ring 0 of angular crosssection which is arranged in a recess ofthe cover 6. Ring 0 is provi'd ed with studs 0 engaging the grooves a of .thecup a as describedwith reference toFig,

2. In each case the cover I) is provided with. the cone 5 The pot shown in Figs. 4 and 8 has the. outward appearance. of the pot shown in Fig. 1 viz. the shapeof a shrapnel-shell or the like. The cup at and the cover I), are made of glass or porcelain. In a recess of;

cup. 0; ofi glass or porcelain is arranged. in

which the mustard 1s stored. The cup 0 corresponds allrespects to that shown 1n Fig.

1 but there are no studs 0 and the cup 0 rests. loose in the base a. I

While I have illustrated and described sevenalpraotical embodiments ofmy inventied it is to be understood that the latter is not limited to the forms shown but may be embodied; in many other forms, and. that many modifications may be made in the.

forms illustrated without departing from the spirit of the invention, for instance the cone 2 the conical bottomfa; or the rest: a ma be made in all=the -forms re re:-'sented:

hat I claim andf wish to secure by Let-f ters Patent isz.

A' pot for mustard, jain marmalade', honey and the like, comprising in'combination, a casing adapted tohouse a spoon, a cover on said casing; stud's on saidcov'er, a-cup, lugs.

on said cup and ribs onthe inside of said casing, which constitute grooves on" the out-' side otth'e casmg, said inside ribs engag ng said lugs. onthe cup, and) said, outside grooves receiving said studs on the'cov'er for forming a joint; substantially as described and for, the p/urposeset forth." i
